HAHAHAHAHHA, that sounds like a plan. Its funny though because this was a ticket from 2005. I had forgotten about it because when I got it I was really really really high. I dont even remember signing it. It only took them 4 years to figure out that I didnt pay it.

Yes, I have made an agreement to take care of the dumb ticket with them, but it will still fall after the meet. Plus my car is ripped apart so bad now. I decided that I wanted to run all the cables for the rear professionally. Its amazing how much better it looks and easier to find and organize. I still have speaker wire and 5 USB cables to run. My car literally has no interior, people really think my car was robbed now, lol.

I think I'm gonna try and make this one, that is if JohnWPB promises not to bring his Fiero.

That will not be a problem at all! I had the fuel pump replaced today, turned the key and it fired right up! BUT and I do mean B U T.....

The engine is shot! there is a knock.... a knock bad enough that I didnt want to get anywhere even close to the engine! The mechanic said it sounds like a busted rod

This mean's either
a) rebuilding this engine
b) getting another 2.8L v6, or
c) getting a 4.9L Cadillac engine....

I am in the process of weighing all of the options now...... fun fun fun...

I think rebuilding would be fun...... Now if you do decide to get a new engine instead, I would take MPG into effect. You don't want to build yourself a gas guzzler (the 4.9L). I get about 11-13 MPG in mine, although I do like the power. Im trying to get my hands on the reprogrammer for my truck so I can add more HP, Torque, smoother transmission shifts and best of all bring my MPG up to 16-17 MPG.

A buddy of mine (he does my Cadillac tuning) has a Northstar in his and its a rocket! (12 sec 1/4 mile) Still he wants more - adding centrifugal supercharger this summer.
